In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing “California is here and ready to talk.”

It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue “strategic” relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

    I think the fact that you have such a polarized society where states are “red” or “blue” and have such different policies and views on things make it difficult to function as 1 country. Of course this has always been the case to a certain extent but nowadays it feels a lot more rabid then before. Knowing how much democrats like being pushovers nothing will probably happen (for the good of the country or some bullshit) but I do hope that more and more of these protest style things keep happening and that Trumps authority keeps withering away.
